World-Class Warehousing and Material Handling

Rate this book
Warehousing continues to play a critical role in assuring high levels of customer service and overall logistics performance. Efficient warehousing can minimize the effects of supply chain inefficiencies; can improve logistics accuracy and inventory management; and can allow for product accumulation, consolidation, and customization. The cost of warehousing should be commensurate with the contribution of warehousing to overall logistics performance--typically between 2% and 5% of corporate revenue. In world-class warehousing these costs are minimized while also improving customer service. The principles and systems described in this book are common denominators of world-class warehousing. The principles have been developed over a decade of logistics research, education and consulting project experience. World-Class Warehousing and Material Handling can be used to develop a warehouse master plan to support the corporation's overall logistics strategy. In the second book in the Logistics Management Library, World-Class Warehousing and Material Handling will customization and countrification; information technology in warehousing; warehouse performance analysis; the role of the warehouse in the supply chain; warehouse expansion and contraction planning. World-Class Warehousing and Material Handling will integrate both global and e-commerce issues and examples throughout the text. The author's consulting and teaching experience places him in the position to draw on his wide experience to present numerous case studies and best practices throughout the book. In the end, this book will help the reader to develop a comprehensive warehouse strategy to reduce costs and increase quality.

Excellent overview of material handling equipment. The best part is the activity profiling data analysis primers.

ผมอ่านฉบับแปลไทย ซึ่งซื้อมาเมื่อประมาณสิบปีก่อน โชคดีที่เจอหนังสือเล่มนี้อีกครั้ง อ่านครั้งนี้เห็นภาพมากขึ้นกว่าเดิม คาดหวังจะใช้ประโยชน์มากขึ้น

หนังสือเก่าแต่อ่านแล้วยังไม่รู้สึกเก่ามากในด้านเทคโนโลยี เห็นได้เลยว่าเรายังล้าหลังอยู่พอสมควร ไม่ควรหยุดเรียนรู้

ขออนุญาตเครดิตผู้แปล คุณอนุวัฒน์ ทรัพย์พืชผล และคุณไพบูลย์ กิจวรวุฒิ โดยบรรณธิการคือ ดร.วิทยา สุหฤทดำรง
